Barcelona legend admits interest in managing Man United

FC Bayern Munich manager Pep Guardiola has indicated in the new book ‘Pep Confidential’ that he may one day be interested in taking the reigns at Manchester United.

Guardiola has admitted his interest in the Man Utd job

The book, which came out today, revolves around Guardiola’s first season with the German giants where they won the Bundesliga, the DFB-Pokal and the Super Cup, but failed to retain their Champions League crown.

Guardiola, who won 14 trophies in just four years with Barcelona, spoke highly of United in the book, saying: “I like this atmosphere. I could see myself coaching here one day.”

With Louis Van Gaal in charge, United will be in no rush to bring in a new manager. Guardiola though does boast a remarkable track-record, despite Bayern’s humiliating Champions League defeat to Real Madrid last season, and could be a viable replacement for the 63-year-old Van Gaal when he decides to retire from the game.
